Hobby brew commercialised through Dilewyns, bottle from Van Eetvelde in Lokeren. Thick, tightly 'papery' lacing, eggshell-white, irregular, moussy, stable head over a 'rusty' orange blonde beer with warm golden hue, clear initially but immediately 'flecked' by a suspension of dead yeast dots throughout, turning into a misty amberish orange with unattractive clots of dead yeast at the bottom after adding the sediment. Aroma of canned peaches, honey, orange zest and drying mandarin peel, apple sauce, fried pineapple slices, powder sugar, paprika-flavoured potato chips, coriander seed, ginger powder and even gingerbread, banana, close to medicinal phenols but fortunately (just) not over the top, white pepper, hints of dusty old straw, old cheese, aniseed, soap, sweet cherry tomatoes, chicken spices, egg yolk. Fruity onset, sweetish and sourish, hinting at banana, peach and crisp red apple, residual sugariness with honeyish effect, sharp and bit numbing (over)carbonation, yet rounded mouthfeel. Spiciness is apparent at an early stage and increases in the finish, lots of coriander seed soapiness but a lot of spicy phenols as well, citrus peel impressions with 'brightening' effect, while the malt and honeyish sweetness below meet a peppery, earthy, rooty hop bitterness and a late bready yeastiness. The hop bitterness is quite outspoken for a Belgian tripel and is, unsurprisingly at 9.5% ABV, followed by a warming, perhaps slightly too obvious afterglow of whisky-like alcohol, accentuating the end bitterness. A bit rough on the edges, a tad too boozy, a bit overcarbonated, a bit too yeasty, too sweet and a bit overspiced - typical Belgian approach, I'd say. Drinkable and correct enough, but not my personal favorite in terms of styling, I guess.
